maybe the problem is the **\_root** thing you’re targetting mc’s that are not in the \_root of the movie when you place everything into another movie clip try replacing it with **this** or **\_root.movieclipInstanceName** or remove it completely [size=1]_movieclipInstanceName_ is the instance name of the movie clip holding the game[/size]
